The Amazing Meeting 2009

The Amaz!ng Meeting is a celebration of critical thinking and skepticism sponsored by the James Randi Educational Foundation. Thinking people travel the world to share learning, laughs and life with fellow skeptics and distinguished guest speakers.

TAM is too expensive! It seems like the entire purpose of it is to siphon many dollars out of us on an annual basis, but perhaps I am missing some higher purpose, am I???? What was that ticket price for the last TAM $500.00 wasn't it, but I think that includes all the free air you can breathe while you are there so maybe its not so bad.

Only 200 British Pounds per person for the entire TAM in London UK so that's a real bargain for you. I think the really, really "Amazing" thing about the Amazing Meeting is that they manage to leech so much money out of ostensibly intelligent people. TAM seems like a traveling lounge act organized by people who have internalized the credo of P. T. Barnum.

I see that others over on bad science have similar concerns on the vampiritic pricing. Does anyone here at sketicality have these concerns or are you fine with it. If you are fine with it why are you fine with it?
